sorry, I don't...

Any advice for which tuner to buy for my MT? The one I have now is too big for the small headstock and it sometimes left scratches on my old mandolin. The smaller and brighter the better.

Thanks for all the advice, the mandolins coming on Thursday and I've got 48 hours to check it out. I'm fairly certain I'll be happy with it since the dings look to be in finish only and I've already...

I need some advice. I won the collings mt gloss top eBay auction earlier today and afterwards received an email from the buyer telling me that although the ad said mint condition, the instrument...
